International Classification:

A61M 39/00

US Classification:

604533, 604534, 604538, 606108

Abstract:

An adapter assembly () for connecting a catheter assembly () to a tunneler () having a generally tubular body () having a first end (), a second end () and a longitudinal axis ( ) extending therethrough between the first end and the second end. The first end () of the adapter is constructed to engage the proximal end () of a trocar (). The second end () of the adapter is constructed to releasably engage at least one catheter lumen (). A slider () is disposed about the adapter () and is longitudinally slidable along the adapter. When the slider () is slid towards the second end () of the adapter, the slider engages a plurality of legs (-) on the adapter and biases the plurality of legs toward each other and the longitudinal axis of the adapter. A method of subcutaneously tunneling a catheter using the adapter assembly is also described that comprises inserting a catheter into a patient, connecting the proximal end of a trocar to the adapter assembly, releasably restraining at least one lumen of the catheter in the adapter, and tunneling the assembly.

Inventors:

Assignee:

Medical Components, Inc. - Harleysville PA

International Classification:

A61M 25/18

US Classification:

604535, 604533

Abstract:

A locking component () for locking a catheter proximal end onto a stem () of a medical device such as a venous access port assembly (). The locking component has upper and lower parts () that self-secure to each other, preferably in a first position partially open but still assembled, and a second position, locked fully together. The locking component has a compression surface () to compress the catheter lumen wall against the stem at a location axially offset from the protuberance(s) along the stem of the medical device. A method is disclosed for mechanically securing a catheter to a medical device by the locking component can involve placing the pre-assembled locking component along the catheter prior to securing the proximal catheter end to the stem of the medical device and then moving the locking component into position around the stem and then pressing it together into its second locked position, compressing the catheter lumen wall against the stem.
